Is Maria Shriver Rethinking Her Divorce From Arnold Schwarzenegger?

What do Catholicism and wooing have in common? If we are to believe a report today by TMZ, they are two of the reasons Maria Shriver is citing for contemplating staying married to estranged husband Arnold Schwarzenegger.
The gossip site reports that Shriver has confessed to pals she isn't sure about going through with the divorce she filed for in the summer. Shriver's Catholicism and the fact that "Arnold still desperately wants Maria back," and has been wooing her with gifts and by being "extremely sweet" are giving the newswoman pause and perhaps reason to call off the calling off of the couple's 25-year marriage.
But can the Lord and some kindness erase the fact that the Governator knocked up an ex-housekeeper? Does this mean Arnold is willing to toss out his cheeky "I SURVIVED MARIA" t-shirt? And what of the new home Shriver is renovating in Brentwood?
So many questions.
At LAist, we believe in journalism without censorship and the right of a free press to speak truth to those in power. Our hard-hitting watchdog reporting on local government, climate, and the ongoing housing and homelessness crisis is trustworthy, independent and freely accessible to everyone thanks to the support of readers like you.
But the game has changed: Congress voted to eliminate funding for public media across the country. Here at LAist that means a loss of $1.7 million in our budget every year. We want to assure you that despite growing threats to free press and free speech, LAist will remain a voice you know and trust. Speaking frankly, the amount of reader support we receive will help determine how strong of a newsroom we are going forward to cover the important news in our community.
We’re asking you to stand up for independent reporting that will not be silenced. With more individuals like you supporting this public service, we can continue to provide essential coverage for Southern Californians that you can’t find anywhere else.
